For those of you who work remote and lived far from a major city / airport how have you negotiated travel costs with your job? Have you been able to expense car service to the airport? Extra nights in hotels etc?

Yes.

My advice would be to always be the squeaky wheel. If you accommodate they will take what they can get.

Told them they could either handle all my travel costs and keep my pay at what was offered, or they could increase my offer so I could afford to cover 50/50 - so they increased my offer and i now expense as much as they let me (flights, hotels, cars, meals) - I’m very upfront with exactly how much I’m gonna bill them each time I travel

I negotiated them like you negotiate anything else; speak with the appropriate parties tactfully but assertively. Work-related travel costs should not come out of your pocket.

Hi guys,

I need some advice, I’ve been in a newly created role within a pharma agency for about three months now and it is not going too well. There is little to no structure or direction from senior leadership, no access to client data, little to no billable work. Worst of all, no project is related to what I have been hired to do.

I would like to move on with a different agency asap, but I’m not sure how to proceed with such a short time here.
